(a) Seven-segment for 4 µm beam, (b) five-segment for 4 µm beam, (c) simple concave for 5 µm beam: comparison of fits to super-Gaussians of representative knife-edge scans. Maximum experimental intensity normalized to unity for easy comparison of plots. Wire distance from center of mirror chamber, p and R2 are in the labels. Black curves with dots are measured profiles. Thick solid red curves are best-fit super-Gaussians. Thick dashed red curve in (c) is best-fit super-Gaussian for which p is fixed at the value in (a). This is done for comparison of flatness and striation with (a). Note the decreasing goodness of fit R2 as the number of segments decreases. |
